Here is a handy check list. In brief: 1) How much do you want to spend? 2) Where are you growing? 3) What kind of pot do you like? 4) How are you going to grow?

1) IS PRICE A CONSIDERATION?

Seeds imported from Amsterdam produce the highest quality "F1" hybrids. Dutch seed companies also produce some of the finest, "stable pure breeds" available in the world. These "pure breeding strains" make-up the backbones of most domestic "F2" hybrids.

Lenient regulations in Holland have allowed companies there to create world class, high tech, breeding programs. These Dutch seed companies have the resources and access that enables them to take advantage of the most advanced technologies in the world. Parents are chosen from very large groups, thousands of plants are grown-out and scientifically analysed to help choose the best possible individuals for breeding. We broker seeds for three Dutch companies, they include Sensi Seeds, Greenhouse Seeds, and Dutch Passion Seeds. Prices range from about $90 to over $400 (CAD), plus taxes.

We have currently selected to represent five domestic seed companies that our research has shown to produce the best results. Their breeding programs are somewhat modest by Dutch standards.

Repressive laws in North America have forced domestic breeders to choos parents from much smaller genetic groups than Dutch breeders enjoy. Professional domestic seed producers use careful, experienced, observation to select the best canidates for breeding programs that have produced some of the finest cannabis abailable anywhere in the world. Many of the domestic strains are "F2" hybrids, the results from these seeds are more variable than those obtained from Dutch seeds. However the ease of stocking and lower wholesale prices allows us to offer domestic strains at lower prices than their Dutch counterparts.

We broker seeds for five domestic companies, they include Dr. Atommic Seeds, Next Generation Seeds, Vancouver Island Seeds, and Canadian Bred Seeds. Prices range from about $60 to $100 (CAD), plus taxes.

2) ARE YOU GROWING INDOORS, OUTDOORS OR IN A GREENHOUSE?

Most varieties of cannabis will grow indoors under artificial lighting. Some strains grow so tall or have such low yields indoors that they are disregarded by most indoor cultivators. Strains labelled as "indoor" on our web site have been selected for the best indoor results.

All varieties of cannabis will grow outdoors, somewhere in the world. As you move north or south, away from the equator fewer varieties are available to outside cultivators, and conversely those growing outdoors closer to the equator have more varieties available to them. Strains labellled as "outdoors" in our catalogue have been selected for the best outdoor results in Northern Europe, the Northern United States and Southern Canada. Many of the strains labelled as "indoor" on our web site produce outstanding results outdoors in the Southern United States or Northern Australia.
